    Dumbass,
    Because he reads rbr and we started calling him that ages ago. We are the
    final arbiters of style in the cycling world, we even designed the Phonak
    team colours.

    I am beginning to think they do - Bobke started talking a lot nicer
    about Flandis after the "what does Bobke have against Landis" thread.

    All kidding aside, I agree. A lot of luminaries read rbr. In fact, when
    Lafferty mysteriously disappears, it will confirm the identity of at least
    one lurker.

    True that.

    Team Internet (which was founded by a number of former RBR'ers) has been
    using those colors since 1995/96 (whenever it was the team was founded).

    Dumbass -

    I won't believe that until I hear them call someone "dumbass".

    thanks,

    While interviewing Robbie Ventura, Phil twice called Landis "Robbie."
